"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:

Wash the eggplant and slice it into rings around 1/2" thick. Mix together egg and milk in one bowl and put bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip slices of eggplant (both sides) in egg mixture and then coat both sides with bread crumbs. In a large skillet, fry the slices in hot oil until golden on both sides. Season with pepper. Line the bottom of a buttered 13x9x2" baking dish with a layer of fried eggplant slices. Top with a layer of the marinara sauce, mozzarella , parmesan and basil. Continue building up layers of eggplant, marinara, cheese and basil. Dot the top with butter. Place in the preheated oven at 400º for about 15 minutes. Allow to set for 10-15 minutes before serving.
